ComLex II CE scores were released today, and I passed on the third try. I did considerably better on this iteration as well. Now, it is well past both DO and MD matches and scrambles. Residencies appear to be few and far between. So, I'm wondering, what are my chances of finding any residency this late in the game? I am applying to family medicine. I thought there would be a plethora of choices, but the NRMP lists only one single open position, and since there is no list of open AOA spots, who knows how many osteopathic residencies are available.
Am I going to be unemployed next year? I think my wife will stab me with a knife if that happens.

I would venture to guess there are a TON of DO residencies open. I'd just start calling the ones you are interested in.

There is a list of open AOA spots. I'm not going to post any links so as not to offend anyone concerned about copyrighting, but Google "2011 AOA Match Results" and go to the osteopathic.org result at the very top. Then click the link to a PDF that says "View 2011 Scramble Open Positions". It was updated April 19. There are quite a few FP spots open.
